Rain - Wow!

It rained this morning.........poured..........teemed.  That happened about 3 minutes after Poppa left to go to the driving range.  I thought he would be right back.  But, I was wrong....he was gone longer than usual.  Apparently where he was it just sprinkled from time to time and he went into the clubhouse until it quit and then went back out.  The temperatures today are quite nice though....felt warmer than the thermometer said......I think because it was very humid.

Remember that funky sock I had started for Auntie Colleen?  Well, here is what it looked like this morning......

Yep - I frogged it.  Even though the wrapper on this yarn said there was enough for a man's pair of socks, when I got part way up the foot of the first sock, it was obvious that there was not enough yarn for the second sock.  I read their pattern (on the label) and their definition of a sock varied greatly from mine.  They were making a 4-1/2 inch leg, and a 6 inch foot.........nope...........not my socks.........so I went on line to see if I could find another skein of this nice yarn.  Well, I did, but it would have to come from Wales (yes - Great Britain) and I wasn't sure I wanted to wait that long.  The place where I had originally got the yarn was discontinuing that particular brand, so I couldn't get any more there.  So, we made an emergency trip to the Jo-Ann store and I decided to improvise.....when I get enough done to take a picture that will demonstrate my improvisation I will post it...should be tomorrow.

Recently, Auntie Grumpy went over to Munchie's place for a visit and she brought a new toy.  Our little Munchie loves getting new toys and they sat together on the floor to play with it. 

It certainly appears that they were having a good time together...oops...the new toy isn't in this picture!  Here it is....

And I am compelled to share this wonderful picture that Auntie Colleen sent.  It is Uncle Shaun's photography - and I'll post it so you can see the weather at home....yeah sure....the real reason I am posting it is because of its compelling content.  I have no idea where Uncle Shaun found this treasure, but I hope he is out digging for the treasure that must surely be buried nearby.
